00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:05.080
Among the aesthetic beauties of the Prophetic biography (Seerah).

00:00:05.080 --> 00:00:08.269
The hadith of the countenance.

00:00:08.269 --> 00:00:19.210
His face would radiate with modesty and composure, expressing what he disliked.

00:00:19.210 --> 00:00:28.210
Yet, out of modesty, he would not speak harshly, nor would he frequently rebuke; rather, his expression would change and his features would tighten.

00:00:28.210 --> 00:00:31.210
Thus, they would know that he was displeased or angry.

00:00:31.210 --> 00:00:35.399
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) says:

00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:43.399
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) was more modest than a virgin in her private quarters.

00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:49.420
If he saw something he disliked, we would recognize it in his face.

00:00:49.420 --> 00:00:54.420
This is because she has not mingled with anyone and remains modest and gentle.

00:00:54.420 --> 00:01:01.420
She is soft-spoken, unaccustomed to harshness, and barely acts or speaks.

00:01:01.420 --> 00:01:06.420
Therefore, she is described as possessing dignity, modesty, and intense shyness.

00:01:06.420 --> 00:01:12.620
Likewise, the Prophet (peace be upon him) was even more so in shunning vile things.

00:01:12.620 --> 00:01:16.620
And in distancing himself from reprehensible matters and those who commit them.

00:01:16.620 --> 00:01:20.650
If he disliked something, he would express it through his face and his conduct.

00:01:20.650 --> 00:01:25.680
Consequently, his Companions and those present with him would be deterred.

00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:29.349
Modesty is a great moral conduct.

00:01:29.349 --> 00:01:36.349
It inspires one to do good and abandon evil, and it is among the traits of faith.

00:01:36.349 --> 00:01:41.510
The comparison of the Prophet (peace be upon him) to the modesty of a virgin in her quarters,

00:01:41.510 --> 00:01:44.510
Is merely for the sake of approximation and understanding.

00:01:44.510 --> 00:01:51.700
A person lives modestly in goodness; the branch remains as long as the bark remains.

00:01:51.700 --> 00:01:58.700
By Allah, there is no good in life or in this world if modesty departs.

00:01:58.700 --> 00:02:05.150
This modesty adorns the personality and refines conduct.

00:02:05.150 --> 00:02:09.150
It leads to piety, brevity of speech, and avoiding unnecessary interference.

00:02:09.150 --> 00:02:12.150
It increases chastity and self-discipline.

00:02:12.150 --> 00:02:16.439
This was the case with the Prophet (peace be upon him),

00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:21.439
Unless the sacred limits of Allah were violated or the laws were undermined.

00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:27.500
If the sacred boundaries were transgressed, his anger would flare and his rebuke would intensify.

00:02:27.500 --> 00:02:30.500
He would act in accordance with his station, guiding those who needed correction.

00:02:30.500 --> 00:02:34.500
And holding them to the law of Allah the Exalted.

00:02:34.500 --> 00:02:37.500
In this is an indication of the virtue of modesty.

00:02:37.500 --> 00:02:40.500
And that it is a praiseworthy trait.

00:02:40.500 --> 00:02:43.500
As long as it does not lead to weakness and frailty.

00:02:43.500 --> 00:02:48.500
For then it is not modesty, but rather weakness and incapacity.

00:02:48.500 --> 00:02:50.500
And Allah is the Grantor of success.

00:02:50.500 --> 00:02:56.500
